Original Draft Dialogues

Basic Information

Original story draft found in huge text dump, written in Japanese. In December 2017 extracted by Sanadsk and translated by Lokey. This early draft align with pre-release tidbit of story published on portuguese store fnac.pt (translation) in February 2015.
Not all of the dialogues were translated, as some of them were duplicates of existing dialogues. For more information check the Bloodborne Original Cut Dialogues document.

Note: Micolash - dialogues are connected to the cut items of Living Liver which is Bloodborne equivalent of the boss souls (Living Liver of Father Gascoigne etc.), one of those is Living Liver of Father Norbert (or Cleric Norbert) it is possible that Father Norbert is actually the Cleric Beast fought in the main game. Also these dialogues are connected to the Master Willem's "fetch me eyes" dialogue so it is possibility that Micolash was Master Willem in early draft, given that Willem's code name in this file is "Micolash's Empty Shell" (rough translation).

Archibald

… Who’re you?... Perhaps the fellows called hunters? Oh, if so, that’s just perfect. My name is Archibald. Ah, it’s all right not to be wary. I’m the same as you, a foreigner and, well, decent. I just want to see the truth of Yharnam and beyond it. More than that, if you’re a hunter, you’re diving into the graves of gods, aren’t you? If so, then bring me the blood of gods, blood-crystals. I think I can make them into your power…

If you’re a hunter, bring me the blood of gods, blood-crystals. I think I can make them into your power…

Oh, you’ve been safe, have you? So, how about it? Any unusual blood-crystals?

You have that sort of face. What is it? Do you still have something?

See you. I expect more unusual blood-crystals. Because you’re just like a vampire…

This is a playtest for drama purposes

“Yes, indeed. The dark ring is the mark of the cursed undead. And that’s why in this country, the undead are captured and sent north. Entered in a prison until the end of the world. You too will do so.”

“They still exist… the filthy beasts…”

“Laurence, went to say goodbye.”

“Ah, I know.”

“The damned traitor.”

“How obstinate…”

“But, the adage’s not forgotten…”

“You guys, if you all certainly desire the wisdom of the eye(s)”

“Always fear blood.”

“… Well, this is goodbye.”

“Fear it, Ashton.”

“The damned whore…”

“The nerve, what you’d call a lowly person.”

The first is just the DS1 opening in the asylum. The rest is seemingly random lines thrown together so they could test something in the code. A “drama use car” is used in Japanese film-speak for prop cars, so a “play drama use test” is presumably something similar.

はじめまして。病み人さん

これは夢、病み人のための悪夢です

狂気の病におかされ、死に瀕し、それでも生きる意志がある

そういう方が訪れる悪夢です

あなたもそうなのでしょう？

だから、死してなお悪夢で目覚める

まるでそれこそが、悪夢であったかのように

狂気とは、つまりそういうものですから

病み人さん

狂気を求めてください

私がそれを、普く狂気を、あなたの糧といたしましょう

なにより、あなたの意志のために

私をお使いください

お帰りなさい、病み人さん

目覚めは有意なものでしたか？

いってらっしゃい、病み人さん

心安らかな目覚めでありますように

では、狂気をあなたの糧といたしましょう

少し近づきます。目を閉じていてください…

過去、多くの方がこの悪夢を訪れ、亡くなりました

ここにある墓石は、すべて彼らの、意志の跡なのです

もう、ずっと前の話ばかりに思えますが

小さな彼らは、この悪夢の住人です

あなた方の従者、病み人を慕い、従う者と聞いています

言葉は分かりませんが、かわいらしいものですね

おかしなことを仰います

神が造物主であれ、被造物を愛するものでしょうか？

私は、あなた方、人に作られた人形です

でも、あなた方は、私を愛しはしないでしょう？

逆であれば分かります

私は、あたなを愛しています

造物主は、被造物をそう作るのだと聞いています

これは…なんでしょうか？

私、私の記憶には、何もありません、分からない、分からないのですが

懐かしいと感じます…こんなことは、はじめてです…

私は、おかしいのでしょうか？

ああ…

でも、病み人さん。ありがとうございました

私は嬉しかったです

（殴りつけられたとき/斬りつけられたときの悲鳴を幾つか\n あまり大きな声はださず、声を抑え耐える感じ）

すみません、あなたを不快にさせました

どうぞ、私の動きをとめてください

そうなっても、体は、あなたの助けになるでしょう

ですから、どうぞご安心ください…

…瞳、瞳はまだか…

…まだ足りない、見えていない…

…瞳をおくれ…

…ああ、はやく、誰でもいい…

…つぶらでもいい、いたいけでいい…

…頭の中に、瞳をおくれ…

…おう、もっと瞳を…

おう、おう…

おう、おう…ようやくやってきたか…

待ち侘びたぞ、愛しい生贄よ

さあ、はやくこちらに…

はやくお前の、瞳をおくれよう…

Plain Doll

“How do you do, [Mr/Ms] Diseased? This is a dream, a nightmare for the diseased. There’s the will to be afflicted with the disease of madness, be on the verge of death, and still live. Such is the nightmare that’s visited. For you too, yes? That’s why, you wake up when you die. As if it was for sure a nightmare. Because madness is, in other words, that sort of thing.”

“[Mr/Ms] Diseased. Please seek madness. Allow me to make that, universal madness, your provisions. Most of all, please make use of me for the sake of your will.”

“Let’s make madness your provisions so you have a peaceful awakening. Come a little closer. Please close your eyes…”

“In the past, many visited this nightmare and died. The gravestones here are all that remains of their wills. Geez, it seems like only a story of long ago, but the tiny they are the residents of this nightmare.”

“I listen to the servant of you all, the one who adores and follows the diseased. I don’t understand the language, but it’s lovely. I look up to strange things.”

“God’s the creator and one who loves his creation, isn’t he? I’m a doll made by you all, humans. But, you all don’t love me, do you? I know the reverse. I love you. I hear it’s that the creator makes the creation so.”

Micolash

“… Hey, how do you do? My name’s Micolash. I was the head… of this treatment church. The Father Herbert was terrible, but you probably saved him. I’ll say thanks as his surrogate. Umbasa.”

“However, you are a magnificent hunter… and yet… no, I understand even without you saying it. You’re probably captured in a nightmare and seek the blood of the wise man. Ah, but, so sad.

The current me can’t help you. I can teach you just one thing. Go to the university. Head west from the plaza in front of the church, and there’ll be an ancient, abandoned university after coming out of the forest of snakes. The knowledge you seek will probably be there. The beast-hunting still isn’t over. Please be careful… Umbasa…”

…ふふ

…ひひひひひひ

なるほど、所詮は悪夢の狂人か…

ならばよい

せいぜい血に狂うがよいわ…

ひひひひひひ…

ひひひひひひ…（ひときわ高く）

（殴りつけられたとき/斬りつけられたときの悲鳴を幾つか\n 斬りつけられる、ショットガンなどで撃たれるなど）

（殴りつけられたあと/斬りつけられたあとの、意味不明な笑いを幾つか\n いひひひひひ！、うふふふふふふ…、など）

（死亡時の断末魔\n グウッと唸り倒れる、絶叫と共にこと切れる、など）

なあ、誰か、誰でもいい…

誰か、俺の目を見てくれ…

鐘が…祈りが聞こえる…

眠れない、ずっと眠れないんだ…

だんまり、だんまり、だんまりと

ずっと、眠っているのに…

ああ、ゴース、あるいはゴスム

逆さまの白痴、ロマ

泥に浸かり、もはや見えぬ湖

宇宙よ！

きっと目玉が足りないのか

俺にも、俺の脳みそにも…

脳みそにこそ！

なあ、誰か、お願いだ…

俺の目を、俺の目、夢を…

舌を噛み、語り明かそう

明かし語ろう…

俺の素晴らしい悪夢を！

ウアアアアアアアアアアアア

ウアアアアアアアアアアアアアアアアアアアアアアアアッ！

おお、おお、君、心の友よ！

俺の目を見てくれ

見てくれよう…

ああっ、ひどい！

心の友、今更、今更だな

照れることはないじゃあないか…

…俺の、目を、見てくれ…

見てくれよう…

（殴りつけられたとき/斬りつけられたときの悲鳴を幾つか\n 斬りつけられる、ショットガンなどで撃たれるなど）

（殴りつけられたあと/斬りつけられたあとの、意味不明な咆哮を幾つか\n おおおおおお！、うわあああああ！など）

（死亡時の断末魔\n グウッと唸り倒れる、絶叫と共にこと切れる、など）

“… Heheh… Hihihihihihi.”

“I see, a madman of the nightmare after all, huh… Then good. Good to go mad from blood to the upmost… Hihihihihihi…”

“Hihihihi… (especially high)”

(Some shrieks when beaten / when killed \n Killed with a blade, shot with a shotgun or the like, etc.)

???

“… Is someone there? But, whoever it is, it’s futile. I’m just a corrupted body that won’t die. You won’t acquire anything. Go home…… Stop it. I am the corrupted queen of the blood relatives. Exchanging words and the like with that, the treatment church won’t forgive it… Now, go home…”

“… You are a strange one… Even if you exchange words with me, there’s nothing for you to acquire. And yet… And yet, if you aren’t afraid of the treatment church, what do you think and what do you want?”

“… That’s…… That’s awfully… but… it can’t be done… Please forgive me. I don’t want to lose anyone anymore. But, thank you. That’s an awfully pleasant proposal. The predecessors will be pleased too. If it’s not a compact, I think we can cooperate. If I can do it, whatever it is…”

“… I understand. You’re a friend who kindly associated with me. If I can do it, let me cooperate with you.”

“Welcome, may I help you? Something you need? If I can do it, whatever it is. It shall be done. So that I may bless your kindness.”

(Some shrieks when beaten / when killed \n Not too loud, a voice that feels controlled and enduring)

“Ah, forgive me. Have I disappointed you? I’m an immortal and, whatever you are, there’s nothing you can do… Because they were all so all that time…”

“This town’s already done for. It finally received retribution. Retribution that burned the valley town, burned the patients, burned my wife and children with the beasts!

Ah, so pleasant, it’s what you call the curse of the holy grail! Mwahahahahaha, uooooooooooi.”

“Uoo, oh, still hear it yet? I see fire. I hear the sounds of burning. The nice smell of roasting meat. This town too will eventually share the same fate. The valley town’s omen, the holy grail surely curses them. A huge curse of the ancient god(s)! Mwahahahahaha, uooooooooooi.”

“Uoo, oh, oh uooh. I know it, I know it. The beasts of our valley town. They’re for sure man’s original form. It’s for sure the work of the blood of the ancient god(s).

Ah, but, why wasn’t I chosen!? Only I, a human, [at] the bottom of a well!? [At] the bottom of a welllllllll!?”

???

“Don’t trespass the grave of the holy grail. Don’t trespass the grave of the holy grail. The white, hollow gravewarden(s) will limply, droopingly bark. Don’t trespass the grave of the holy grail.

“Ah, good. You awoke, right? But, you shouldn’t push yourself still. Your body still wouldn’t be used to sleeping for a month since the operation, right? Besides… tonight’s another night of beast-hunting. You may not know since you’re from the outside, but days like this are ones you don’t go out and firmly cover your eyes. Because if you do, it’ll surely all end.”

“Oh, what’s wrong you? Perhaps you’re hungry? Well, how sad. But, it’s troubling. The beast-hunting lasts the whole time now and there’s nothing to eat… That’s right, please, this. Since I it’s nourishment and I think it’ll fill you. It might taste bad to a person from the outside, but apologies.”

“Is that so? If it’s the same thing’s fine, apologies.

“That’s yes… At times, there’s a bad disease endemic at this town. The disease of the beast-possessed. That’s why there are best-huntings once the disease becomes endemic. On dark nights, before anyone knows it. That’s why you don’t have to worry about anything. All you should do is leave it be. It’s been happening in this town all this time. Because this time its prevalence is definitely, unexpectedly, horrible. It should be over very soon.”

(note: a lycanthrope is a “wolf-possessed”, same in DS3)

“Don’t worry about it so much. The hunts are the hunters’ job. The beast-huntings will surely end tonight…”

“… What’s that? I don’t know it. If I was smarter, I might know, but… I can’t help you, apologies.”

“Ah, Mr. Laurence! Your friend. How’d I forget about that? Mr. Laurence went in search of a doctor for you. A story of two weeks ago now. But, since the beast-hunting began soon after that, I wonder if he hid himself somewhere? He’ll come back if the hunt ends. You’ve woken up so he’ll be very glad. Since he had been awfully worried.”

“Listen, you. Don’t overdo it so much. You woke up at great pains so value your body.”
